Sony HB-75D

 SONY HB-75D

An MSX1 machine.


 

DESCRIPTION

A few years ago I noticed a machine on the Vatera online marketplace. It was unknown to me, because I had never seen or encountered the term MSX before, nor an MSX machine. In Hungary, the MSX was present in very limited quantities (if it was present) in the 1990s, a few years ago I saw two MSX1s at an exhibition in Budapest, and a few years ago they sold two MSX1s similarly in Vatera. In my opinion, if there are 20-30 MSXs in our small country, then I must have said a lot. 

The Sony HB-75D was sold for a long time before I decided to buy it for 40,000 HUF.  






The basic machine came with a joystick, a printer, and a Sony Hit Bit game (Lode Runner).

 The only thing missing was the printer cable. It all started with this MSX1 Sony Hit Bit machine...
